According to the authority on cannabis in Southern Africa; exchange that has exclusive rights to sell all cannabis produced by the Transkei Estates & Durban Poison Estates, together account for about 90% of all high quality cannabis production.

In order to keep these contract the SA Cannabis Exchange will be launching a number of pot-stats that will be free of charge; even so if the government do not rapidly allow the private sector licence to trade the opportunity to be global leaders is rapidly losing as the window close on yet another opportunity to built around 100 new companies per day.
